... infant was delivered. The second patient, aged 24 years, presented with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia early in the second trimester and was treated with the same regime. Pre-eclamptic toxaemia developed at 29 weeks gestation. Intra-uterine death was confirmed 1 week later. 22 08 1978 15 11...

...G. Schilirò; S. Musumeci; A. Sciotto; A. Russo; S. Marino Lymphocyte subpopulations were studied in 28 children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia at different stages of the disease. T and B lymphocytes, present in low percentages at diagnosis, increased towards normal during remission in most...

...G. Pizzolo; A. Molino; R. Sabbioni; G.L. Cetto; A. Iannucci; M. Chilosi Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, defined by immunological markers as a non-T, non-B, which occurred in a patient with breast cancer 2 years after the end of radiotherapy and CMF adjuvant chemotherapy, is reported. Case Reports...

...A.J.P. Veerman; D.R. Huismans; C.H. van Zantwijk In 83 children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) the immunological phenotype of the lymphoblasts was determined using E rosetting, monoclonal anti-T cell sera, surface immunoglobulin staining and common ALL antiserum. The data were compared...

.... This case differed from natural O/A 1 chimerism where A 1 erythrocytes had normal antigenicity while in the patient, A 1 antigens were depressed. 2 patients (1 with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, 1 with Apl.A) who were investigated after allogenic bone marrow transplantation had a marked decrease...

De Waal In 53 children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), initial handmirror cell (HMC) count among lymphoblasts was studied in relation to the occurrence of a relapse in the central nervous...

... observed an isolated relapse in the left retro-orbital region of a 13-year-old girl, 3 years after BMT performed for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in third complete remission. Computerized tomography revealed a tumor at the inferomedial part of the orbit infiltrating the maxillary and ethmoid sinuses...

...D.V O’Brien; J.M. Craig; L.M. Seeker-Walker; B.J Boughton A case of Philadelphia-positive (Ph) acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) in a 40-year-old male is presented. At diagnosis, 80% of bone marrow cells were Ph. Remission with normal blood counts was achieved but the marrow became hy-percellular...

...Carlo Castagnola; Monia Lunghi; Sabrina Caberlon; Maurizio Bonfichi; Cristiana Pascutto; Mario Lazzarino Background and Objectives: In adult acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), unlike in childhood ALL, the percentage of long-term remitters and survivors has not improved significantly over the last...

... showed no evidence of the Philadelphia chromosome, and fluorescence in situ hybridisation studies for the BCR/ABL fusion were negative. All cells examined showed the t(8;13)(p11;q12) translocation. Six weeks after presentation, the disease progressed to an acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL...

...Süreyya Savaşan; Esteban Abella; Chatchada Karanes; Yaddanapudi Ravindranath Isolated extramedullary relapse is very rare after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) and continues to be a therapeutic problem. We report recurrent breast relapses...
